Last Night at the Golden Globes Who What Wear

A writer toils away, maybe for years, on the script, hundreds of people work on making the film, it costs tens of millions of dollars to make the movie, the director obsesses over every frame and an actor learns his or her lines and explores their character's every nuance and when all is said and done, it all comes down to the humorless Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet asking "Who are you wearing?".

So let's get to it.  Who, What, Wear:

Dior, bit of a bore:

but the cats and dogs loved it.  Trending on Instagram.  DIY Dior:

Sandra Bullock can not resist a good pocket:

and at the 2006 Academy Awards:

Have to say, I did not love this Dior either:

and Paula Patton is such a sweetie - she wore a dress of ours in 2008 when I had taken a suite at the Chateau Marmont for a pop up awards season vintage shop and she could not have been nicer when she stopped by and tried on a few dresses but I thought the ruffle last night was overwhelming:

and I just thought this Zac Posen was so unflattering and ill-fitting:

and it was a mermaid.  Fortunately, most ladies decided to stay away from the mermaid gown - even Sofia Vergara - so you know the mermaid, is really and finally over!

but not for Kate Beckinsale.  Avert your eyes if you do not want to see ye olde mermaid gown...

I loved these ladies:

I think this was actually my favorite look last night...

Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta and adding a little edge in studded Louboutins

and Michelle Dockery looks like a Duchess!  Wouldn't Carson be proud?!

Laura Carmichael looked really pretty...

Margot Robbie has really pulled it together from her earlier red carpet appearances and looked stunning last night:

and one hot Mamma:

Olivia Wilde in Gucci Premiere

and another hot Mamma:

Matthew McConaughey's wife Camilla Alves in Dolce & Gabbana (and wasn't it nice that Matthew McConaughey spent so much time with the fans?!)

And I think everyone's favorite (for good reason) was Lupita Nyong'O in Ralph Lauren:

I did not love this Valentino Couture dress on Amy Adams:

Not certain this dress translated very well from the runway:

Bérénice Bejo in Giambattista Valli Couture

and on the runway:

I know this was controversial but I liked this look on Julia Roberts - she looked like she was being true to herself and what she likes and is comfortable in (as opposed to Lena Dunham who really did not look comfortable or like herself)

Juliana Margulies looked very pretty in Andrew Gn:

I know this is vintage but I did not love it - but maybe it was the hair...

and for most unfortunate moment.  The dress must have been too heavy and pulled away from the double sided tape:

love, kisses and vintage,  Juliana

Best Dressed at the 2013 Golden Globes

My vote for best dressed at the Golden Globes is...

No, not whats her face, but Daniel Craig.  I know the sunglasses were controversial but its the Golden Globes, people drink while accepting awards, its more fun then the Academy Awards so why not sunglasses on the red carpet?  I love the LV suit: simple, clean, perfect.  Perfect pocket square - because it was not too perfect.  

And he is a gentleman too:

And actually I did love Rachel Weisz's daring and sweet at the same time Louis Vuitton dress and of course that amazing Bulgari diamond snake bracelet.  Although the only accessory she really needed was her date : )

But all of the nude dresses, the dreaded mermaid gowns - it was more of a let down then a dreamy escape into a lala land of glamour and gorgeousness.  I applaud Lucy Liu for throwing caution to the wind and tearing down some heavy silk, floral curtains from Carolina Herrera's country house and turning them into a big ol' floral ball gown that would have done Miss Scarlett O'Hara proud.  I personally did not love it but at least it was unexpected and she obviously decided, to hell with the criticism, she was was going to wear what she damn well felt like wearing.  And I found that rather refreshing.

The only real stand outs for me were Julanne Moore looking like a movie star in black and white Tom Ford with another Bulgari snake bracelet

Kerry Washington in a nude but unusual Miu Miu dress.  Really pretty. Really glamorous.  Really youthful.

Marion Cotillard was super chic in neon orange velvet Raf Simons for Dior haute couture

and Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen

and last but not least, thank God for Helena Bonham Carter
